Well meaning pet owners spend millions on dog vitamins each year. In all reality, they may as well be flushing their hard earned dollars down the toilet. Whether it’s under instructions from a vet or just wanting to do whatever it takes to keep their pet healthy, vitamin manufacturers routinely take advantage of dedicated dog owners. The average pet owner often hears about how important proper nutrition is for their dog but rarely ever finds out exactly what that entails. This is because most are content to let their vet and vitamin manufacturers do their thinking for them. [Read more →]

These days, pet owners are commonly given two options for treating dog acne. They can apply topical ointments or creams or they can wait for the acne to go away by itself. While these two things may seem to help solve the problem, it is merely treating or ignoring symptoms of a much larger issue.

These days, many pet owners seek out dog healing in one form or another from their veterinarian’s office. However, a good number of dog owners find themselves in their vet’s office so much they feel like they are stuck in a revolving door.

This is because the vast majority of pet owners have yet to learn the one thing that secures a low maintenance, long lived life of optimum health for their dog. [Read more →]

Therefore, keeping the kidneys in good condition is a must in order for dogs to live a long and healthy life. Yet, slick advertising and propaganda has millions of pet owners unwittingly sabotaging their canine companion’s kidney health each and every day. [Read more →]

The rise in liver disease in dogs has wreaked havoc on the canine population and pet owners everywhere. By the time a pet owner notices the jaundice or orange urine commonly seen in dogs with diseased livers, the time and expense of treating such a condition markedly multiplies. Dog owners being the loyal pet owners they are often want to do what’s best for their pet and are known for pulling out all the stops when it comes to treatment. However, no treatment can be effective until pet owners understand how their dog became sick in the first place. [Read more →]

These days, negative dog behavior is the number one reason so many animal shelters find themselves overflowing with unwanted pets of all breeds, ages and sizes. Whether it is excessive barking, digging, chewing or aggression, pet owners that cannot train a behavior out of their dog often feel left with no other option.

There is no doubt lots of love and companionship are in order; however, there is one thing that makes all the difference in the world.

Regardless of age, breed or size, the most central element in the care of dogs is [Read more →]

Now more than ever, there is a focus on dog feeding that is bringing more and more dog owners into the light. Years after recalls of commercial pet food products and the millions of pets sickened and killed worldwide, many dog owners no longer rely on commercial junk foods to feed their pets. Though it was a most unfortunate way to find out, the recalls helped pet owners understand why commercial dog foods just weren’t healthy for the canine species. While many so called experts jumped on the bandwagon advocating this diet and that, one diet has stood out as the true and proper feeding regimen for canines: [Read more →]
